The Griffin Hall Inward Bound community has something for everyone, bringing together experienced runners, curious beginners, and anyone keen for an adventure. Inward Bound (IB) is an annual long-distance event unique to ANU, where teams of four race to a secret location using only a map and a compass. But Griffin Hall IB is about more than just race day. Throughout the year we host weekly runs, navigation workshops, and social events open to all—whether you’re training or trying out something new. If racing isn’t for you, you can still join in on the day by volunteering or cheering on the teams from the mystery endpoint. However, you take part, Inward Bound at Griffin Hall is an unforgettable experience.
